About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of Lateral crural steal with Columellar strut graft done in Primary Open Rhinoplasty and its long-term sustainability on nasal tip projection and nasal tip rotation.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients seeking primary rhinoplasty for aesthetic and/or functional indications.
Presence of inadequate nasal tip projection and/or rotation suitable for correction using lateral crural steal with columellar strut graft.
Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with follow-up visits.
Disqualifiers
History of prior nasal surgery.
History of severe nasal trauma, altering cartilage architecture.
Significant functional nasal obstruction requiring complex external nasal valve reconstruction.
Patients with excessively wide alar base requiring alar base reduction involving vestibular sill excision (to prevent confounding on projection/rotation).
